Within my mind I see your face,
still haunted by the sound of your laughter,
recalling the warmth of your sweet embrace.
All these I carry within my heart.
See my head turn as I hear your name,
watch my heart break when you touch my dreams,
the tears that burn with the memory pain.
All these I carry within my heart.
My lovely, lovely, paramour.

Wow ..Alex very deep ..I felt this inside my heart… genius .. 🙂 Tim
Thank you – does it make you any more impressed that this was once performed from a boat on a lake as a piece of performance art! Very ethereal! 🙂
Yes it does , especially if it wasn’t premeditated … It really struck me ..
An artist asked people to write poetry, verses, reflections that she could perform. I was delighted she chose mine as one of the pieces 🙂
That is so great …wow …this poem is a great piece of work…I’m sure you were proud of that.!!!
I was – thank you 🙂
That’s beautiful Alex! 🙂
Thank you Anne – it is one of my favourites too 🙂
